Could someone tell me what powdered dextrose is? We have a family project this weekend of making homemade sausage (various kinds), and one of the recipes calls for powdered dextrose. What is it and where could we look for it? Local food stores do not carry it on the shelf, and the meat departments have no idea of what it is. Any suggestions?

It is one of several forms of sugar. You can find it on e-Bay for $3.00 per pound + shipping. I'm not sure what advantage it would have over regular confectioners (powdered) sugar, but the e-Bay site claims it is "an ideal nutrient that assists fermentation and gives the desired tangy flavor.
It is powdered Glucose so may be available at a Pharmacy or Health Food shop. Good luck!!
It is (in the U.S.) a corn sweetener product, and many people (some unknowingly) are allergic to it. It would be better (safer) to use regular beet or cane sugar.
I was reading on a subject that fructose could make you fat. I've been using some sweeteners with dextrose in it. Is this dextrose a fattening sweetener too?
Great feed back was of help to me. Keep up the good work.
Powdered dextrose is a form of a sweetener that is suppose to be better for you than fructose. I'm fructose intolerant. So I have to have something else for a sweetener.
